@@davetbassbos I remember those. I used to have one. My guess was that the pros didn’t have them and didn’t need them and so as weight became more important, they went by the wayside. I’d rather be safer though. My bike is steel and heavy so a bit more weight won’t hurt me.
A lot of those 70s 10 speeds had extensions from the main levers, so just one set of cables, Not sure why they stopped making that design.
